Today, six years later, we remember Jamestown Police Officer Ryan Bourque who was tragically killed by a wrong way, intoxicated and high driver on RT 95 as Ryan travelled home from work. We know the pain his family has suffered and our heart hurts for them, especially today. We ask that you do something kind today in Ryan’s honor. Thank a police officer or give an extra-long hug to your child. It might be your last chance.

Mock DUI Scene at Portsmouth High School
The Portsmouth Police Department, in conjunction with Portsmouth Rhode Island Firefighters, Portsmouth Prevention Coalition, Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) and Portsmouth High School, staged a mock DUI scene for the students and faculty yesterday May 19, 2022.
This was organized to not only help bring awareness to the students of the aftermath and consequences of driving under the influence, but also to educate and provide resources if needed.
Special thanks to High School Principal Joseph Amaral and Assistant Principal Collin Grimsey for facilitating this event to bring awareness to the effects and aftermath of drunk and impaired driving during prom and graduation season
Also a big thank you goes out to R&A Towing for providing the vehicles, the student actors (who were fantastic), SRO Pirri, SRO Weaver, Ofc. Stewart and Ofc. Thulier.
Stay safe during this prom season!

In 1962, President Kennedy proclaimed May 15 as National Peace Officers Memorial Day and the calendar week in which May 15 falls, as National Police Week. Established by a joint resolution of Congress in 1962, National Police Week pays special recognition to those law enforcement officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty for the safety and protection of others.
National Police Week is a collaborative effort of many organizations dedicated to honoring America’s law enforcement community.
Thanks to all that attended today! We had such an amazing time seeing everyone!! Big thanks goes out to Rhode Island State Police and everyone who put this together! Thank you to Ofc. Weaver and Ofc. Serina for representing our department!
